My first post so please forgive if i havent done it right...

From what ive read and done on PTR it seems this will be the Engineering version of Living Steel Ingot; for Smiths. It's rumored to drop from Itoka; Itoka and will teach you how to craft Stabilized Lightning Source; Jard's Peculiar Energy Source. from what i understand it can only be made once per day; similarly to the smiths version Lightning Steel Ingot and Living Steel for alchemists. This item, so far, will be used to make the new 2 person Engineer mount; , a pet and a cooking bag

Two kills and no drops so far. If anyone is able to acquire this quest on live servers please let us know.

This quest was intended for the patch 5.2, but Blizzard didn't add this in the last moments anyways. They said that they weren't ready with the Skyclaw mount and would rather wait until it was ready with adding it, and my guess is that they then saw no reason to add the Jard's Peculiar Energy Source to the game for engineers.So we got nothing new this patch, but in the future we have a Skyclaw to look forward to!

what is the name of this quest and where can I pick it up?

Comment by Wh0sthere

On PTR atm, sky golem is made from 30 Living steel and 30 of these cores(each requiring 10 ghost iron bars)

in total you will need 2100 ghost iron bars or 4200 ore to make the sky golem.

SKY GOLEM For what its worth I thought I would pass on what info I could as of 7/28/13 8AM EST. I've spent a lot of time searching the net, fan sites, and playing the 5.4 PTR and managed to find a few things out, but none of which is absolute when it goes live.

SKY GOLEM is the craziest of all engineering mounts, imo. Its a ton of fun to fly, swaying back and forth, side to side, barrel rolls w/a turbo boost all while bouncing off anything you get too close to! The Sky Golem transforms into a robot on the ground. You sit atop his chest which is a big, mean goblin head and the whole thing shakes, ratttles, and rolls with all kinds of steam, whistles, buzzing, and so on.

In the Vale of Eternal Blossoms that has been corrupted by the Sha, you (an engineer of either type) can get a drop of Schematic: Chief Engineer Jard's Journal off presumably any mob here. I don't know if it has to be a mob that's corrupted, but I went with that since it seemed logical based on the research I had done. My journal drop was on my 6th kill, so it didn't take long at all.

I can't confirm the journal will have all 5 recipes when 5.4 goes live, but it seems to be what most fan site's reader's comments think.

The possible good news about the Sky Golem mount is it at least in PTR it looks like any class can (and did, LOL) have one and is account wide. This I base ONLY on what I saw in PTR. Since there is some potentially pretty nasty bad news, I wonder if Blizz may make it a profession specific mount only.

The possible bad news has to do with the mats which at least for PTR are the following:

I only notated the Jard's Peculiar Energy Source as being once per day because I didn't know if any of the other items, both new and old, will or will still have a daily CD. I'm not a pro at this, just trying to help a bit :)

Needless to say, if the numbers and the daily CD is accurate once live it will be a month before we see SKY GOLEMs roaming our lands and skies... and maybe seas too! Further more, it may be even longer before someone is willing to sell theirs as I would expect most engineers would want to keep the first one for themselves. Of course there may be a few people out there like me who have at least 2 engineers that are level 90 and the profession maxed (I wanted to be able to make both new rockets in MoP), who may have one for sale in a month.

I guess its possible that Blizz won't(?) make the Jard's Peculiar Energy Source soulbound so that they can be sold on the AH and in trade chat. That would surely make it one of the hottest & costly mats in trade. Regardless, those with a maxed engineer will have to create and/or come up with a stack of mats and those who don't will have to come up with a much, MUCH, MUCH, MUCH, MUCH BIGGER stack of gold to get one of the first up for grabs!

Hope this helps to answer some questions, gather a few thoughts, and perhaps start planning a strategy to be one of the first to get one of these crazy awesome mounts! Best of luck to all!

It's a world drop, confirmed dropping in LFR in patch 5.4 (live).

Comment by Driva

This quest is not in patch 5.4. Now you only loot Chief Engineer Jard's Journal, a world drop that drops if you have 600 in engineering. You don't need to be level 90 for it to drop.
